Yeah, and Bernie Madoff's Ponzi Scheme "Technically Violated" the Law

"Yes, we technically violated the law." That is the argument that the FBI is making with regard to the latest revelation that they illegally gathered thousands of telephone records. When faced with that reality, the FBI wrote up bogus and blanket National Security Letters to justify the requests.

Shame on the FBI. And shame on the phone companies for releasing the records.

Given that at least some of the FBI's requests apparently targeted reporters, it's probably fair to say that there was a political motivation for at least some of the requests.

I remember reading about the FBI's philosophy about reformed criminals:

"Once a cocksucker always a cocksucker."

I guess the FBI will always be painted with that brush, too.

Sad. I'm sure some of them used to be proud of their agency.
